I purchased this computer about a month ago, when my old Apple laptop decided to no longer recognize two keys at all whenever you pressed them. Unfortunately, one of those keys was needed to enter in my password to get me past Apple's opening screen, or to Touch ID in its place. So I ended up essentially locked out of my own computer when I could no longer enter the full password despite pressing the proper keys in the proper order. I needed another laptop quickly as my only backup to the internet, etc. was by my phone, and no cell phone is a good substitute computer for very long (if at all) for those with vision issues, given the screen size.
I wanted to replace the laptop with another made by Apple, and knowing I needed the largest screen available narrowed the choices and decision making. With some advice from others about what I needed technically, I then came to Amazon, typed in what I was sort of looking for and started shopping on my tiny screen on my phone, and this particular computer seemed to fit the bill and not be exorbitantly priced, so this is what I chose to replace my old.
This laptop works so much quicker, and I love the screen size, which is a bit larger than my old Apple laptop. Everything has worked great, though I do miss the Touch Bar that my old laptop had, and am having to adjust again to the extra row of keys.
Set up was super easy to do, as I used Time Machine and an old backup to transfer my files from one computer to the other. Most things transferred smoothly and quickly.
While I have yet to use all the different ports on the side of the computer, I am happy to have some of them back. I thought I would love having the slightly cloth covered mag safe connection to electricity when needing to charge the computer, but truly miss the old USB-C connection that used to be on both sides of my laptop, as I have more than once disconnected the mag safe charger accidentally while charging the battery without realizing it, as it is now only on the left side of my new laptop, and my electrical connection is on the right.
Battery life has been great though, and the computer can run all day on a single charge with no problem.
Amazon did a great job with delivery too, sending a passcode beforehand, to make sure the laptop was delivered to the right address and person at the right time. You had to be there to receive it when it arrived.

The screen is huge and makes laptop heavier and less portable. Something to consider if portability is a requirement. Luckily I study mainly at home and don't bring laptop to class that often. Yes it's bulky and heavy. Speakers are impressive though and makes movie watching a great experience.
